The Tossers to Headline the 2nd Annual Pocono Irish-American Festival!
One of the first and most enduring bands on the Celtic punk underground, Chicago's The Tossers mix the attitude and swagger of punk rock with a muscular but respectful approximation of Irish Traditional folk music. Formed in Chicago, Illinois in 1993 by Anthony "T" Duggins, the group's lead singer and mandolin player, The Tossers developed a reputation for their storming live show and busy touring schedule and they infuenced similarly minded bands such as the Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly.
The Tossers released The Valley of the Shadow of Death (2005), Agony (2007), Gloatin' and Showboatin': Live on St. Patrick's Day (2008), On a Fine Spring Evening (2008), The Emerald City (2013) and Smash the Windows (2017) with Victory Records.

The PIAC is happy to welcome the Bogside Rogues!
